servus

Servus (Slovak: Servus, Croatian: Serbus or Servus, Hungarian: Szervusz, Polish: Serwus, Austro-Bavarian: Servus, Romanian: Servus, Slovene: Serbus or Servus, Czech: Servus, Ukrainian: Сервус) is a salutation used in many parts of Central and Eastern Europe. It is a word of greeting or parting like the Italian "Ciao".

Servus is a simple connect based reverse proxy.

$ npm install -g servus
$ servus --init
$ servus

Map urls and filesystem folders to one servus server by simply adding servus.conf.js to your project and running servus.

  • It listens on the configured port and will find an available port in case the port is taken.
  • It can automatically open a browser window with a pre-defined URL when invoked.
  • It automatically restarts when the configuration file is updated.
  • It adds cors headers, gzip compress, navigates directories.
  • It can load any connect plugin you want, no matter if it is installed globally or locally. (see syntax below)
  • It will use servus.conf.js in the closest parent directory if one cannot be found in the current directory.
  • If servus.conf.js does not exist, it will run a simple web server, serving the current folder.

Sample servus.conf.js file:

module.exports = { //create your own servus.conf.js with --init
  port: 9000, //override in command line with --port ###
  gzip: true, //override in command line with --gzip or --no-gzip
  cors: true, //override in command line with --cors or --no-cors
  open: 'http://localhost:<%= port %>', //override in command line with --open URL or --no-open
 
  //add custom attributes and use them as template attributes throughout your config
  //override in command line using 'servus --stagingServer=sake' (the = is important)
  stagingServer: 'pizza',
 
  aliases: {
    //remote api server
    '/_api/': 'http://www.<%= stagingServer %>.wixpress.com/_api/',
 
    //local 'grunt server'
    '/_partials/wix-contacts-statics/latest/': 'http://localhost:9000/',
 
    //local tomcat server
    '/create/my-account': 'http://localhost:8080/wix-dashboard-ng-webapp/dashboard/',
 
    //local filesystem
    '/services/wix-dashboard-ng-static/': '../wix-dashboard-ng-static/src/main/static/'
 
    //need something special?
    //'/mapped/path/': {plugin: 'some-connect-plugin', args: [arg1, arg2, ...]}
 
    //or just add you connect function inline
    //'/mapped/path/': {plugin: function() {}, args: [arg1, arg2, ...]}
  }
};
